UNITED STATES — Collectors across the country are hunting for remaining stock of the new Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration set after the September 16 launch, with major retailers seeing uneven availability.
Target, Walmart, GameStop, and Best Buy all received product, but many locations sold out quickly. Online inventory has also been limited in the first two days.
If you hate scalpers then open vinted and search "pokemon 30th anniversary etb" Click the listing > report > commercial or bulk reselling.

Ripped my Pokemon 30th Celebration haul! What a fun experience! The pull rates are amazing! Don’t FOMO people! These cards are going to tank hard.

Online and Secondary Market
TCGPlayer, eBay, and other platforms have active listings for both sealed product and singles. Prices remain elevated for popular ETBs and high-end chase cards while the market finds balance.
Collectors are also monitoring Pokémon Center for the exclusive ETB version and future product waves scheduled later in the fall.
Tips for Buyers
Check store apps and websites early in the day. Some locations restock mid-week. Avoid overpaying on the secondary market in the first week if possible, as more product is expected to reach shelves.
Shivam Das News will update restock reports as new information becomes available.
